Chantal has watched my now 12 week-old puppy numerous times. She is a great communicator, sends adorable updates, and gives my puppy so much love. I feel confident and safe leaving my pup and home in her care, which says a lot, because my puppy is at the stage where she wants to chew everything up!

I want bookings to be fair

I’ve been working with all breeds and ages of dogs/cats and more since I was 12 years old

I officially started walking, feeding, washing grooming all sizes and types puppies & dogs at 15 years old

I know I have a very strong connection with all animals and care for each and every one as if there my own!I’ve been around so many different types of dogs/cats

I’ve even had quite a few new clients say before I do a meet & greet “ My animal is very scared or isn’t the nicest around new people and or they tend to go hide, not want to be bothered BUT to their surprise I will usually (for the majority) immediately connect with them leaving so many now long term clients & even strangers walking there dogs whom have the same problem with their dogsEXCEPT when they seethat they’re animal is connecting with me on such a friendly and loving level, it puts a whole new comforte and trust (it’s always been like this for animals and children for me, they just cling on & I am always so happy to have everyone feel 0 stress, feel the love, compassion, honesty and more!

It genuinely has helped me seeing all the extra “tips & tricks” on rover to care for multiple dogs at a time! I do my very best to schedule all my services around the profiles you as owners have set up (PICTURES are always so helpful as well as FILLING OUT all information about caring for your pet as well as if they’ve been microchipped, fixed, get along well with other animals (There is a quick section of questions that are “yes & no” I do please ask to fill out all info for the sake of all parties involved, after all knowing all that information and having it logged also helps ROVER & myself be able to give your animal the best care EVER.

I do advise doing a meet and greet to see if

1. Comfotable with your pet being around other dogs and if they get along well with others(The more I know makes our time together 110% the best & succeed an even higher expectation)

2. If YOU want my main focus to be on just YOUR pet or if you don’t mind having another animal I can doggy day care or book a walk for the same time, and I’ll ALWAYS spend my time making sure every animal in my care is getting my undivided attention. I am a multi tasker and I never give more attention to one but not the other!

I am very flexible (FOR THE MOST PART) I have a beautiful back yard of fresh CLEAN grass it is cut and maintained every few weeks.It is completely fenced in while very big which makes it perfect if your pup isn’t the type for “dog park or mile walks”

I keep up on every new and old dog/cat trend (research & reviews are a big part in this from spare leashes, food, toys - pet store brands & homemade treats, I am always finding or looking for what’s going to work best for age and breed.)

I have an amazing emergency vet that is 5 minutes away in case of absolutely anything goes wrong but I also take down all your vet informationAGAIN PLEASE FILL OUT ALL INFORMATION ON YOUR PETS PROFILE FOR EVERY BENEFIT OF YOUR ANIMAL, YOU & I.

I keep more than 110% of my time and eyes on every animal I am watching as well as treating them as if they are my own!I currently do not have any pets, 3 years ago I had to put my kitty to sleep who wasn’t even a year old yet (he was the most amazing animal I’d ever had, he acted more like a human and a dog than an actual cat!) I did the whole adoption thing with “Kitty” and sadly he was already sick when I adopted him.. I took him to the vet not even 24 hours after adopting him paying a fortune for them to see what was wrong but not even after having him for 24 hours I was completely in love with my “kitty” sadly he got worse and even with pet insurance (which I always highly recommend) there was nothing they said would help keep him alive and I had to put hi to sleep.. it broke my heart and that’s when I really wanted to work on getting my degree to be a vet tech/veterinarian, I study and purchase go to the library and read about all types of care for animals. From different breeds to special animal care and training.

I also bake homemade dog treats that are cruelty free and 100% vegan (there completely safe as well as better than any store bought dog treats! I always talk with every pet owner, show them the ingredients to the different recipes and make sure they have absolutely NO allergies!

When your animal is in my care I will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy, comfortable, getting enough exercise and walks, fed properly an I do enjoy teaching animals tricks wether it’s to shake or roll over, grab the newspaper, sit & stay. I do have multiple videos from a lab that I’ve taught and taken care of since she was a puppy! I even taught her how to nudge the bell that hangs on the door of the owners house for when she wants to go outside! Anytime I’ve stayed and watched Seaenna they allow her to sleep in the bed which I am comfortable with (although she is a bed hog she is a cuddle bug and I feel so safe) on Sunday morning I let her outside and she brings back in the newspaper! I don’t expect anyone’s pets to learn or have me train them, that’s something that is completely up to the owner. It’s just a fun activity to teach them something different but if they aren’t into it I never force or continue to push. It’s a process and it’ll come to them as it comes. If the owners are comfortable with me driving with there dog in my Jeep grand Cherokee, I really like joy taking them into a dog friendly trail, I bring what I call a doggy bag (I have extra leashes & collars in case anything happens to the one there wearing, I always carry extra doggy clean up bags with hand sanitizer, I have a first aid animal kit, an emergency cell phone that always stays in my bag and has rovers emergency number, secret different vets that are located in a ten mile radius, the phone number of the pet I am walking, I have triple a, and some other emergency numbers. It’s a pre paid phone that gets service on every trails or any areas I’ve taken all dogs I’ve sorted or walked for just in case my phone breaks or doesn’t get service I believe it is always important to be prepaid! I have a doggy water bottle that holds 24oz of water and has an attachment that creates a comfortable an large enough space for all type of sizes of dog to drink from, I always fill it with fresh cold water and stop between hiking or walks to make sure they are kept hydrated! I also bring along treats that I either make myself or that I will go over the owner with of what kind they prefer best! I do love using the green treats that help freshen there breath along with there teeth, so I have a variety or treats and 3 large scoops of food in case of any emergencies or if we are gone longer then expected wether it’s do to traffic or just any slight bumps in the road I always want to make sure any animal I am watching is fed! I have a reusable doggy bowl that folds up. I also carry brand new balls for every dog I am sitting or walking for, I mark there name on them and keep them in my cupboard so everything is sanitary and only used for your animal! I am also constantly washing and sanitizing any pet related item I have with vegan and cruelty free cleaner, I have an amazon prime account so I am always stocking up on products, toys, treats, leashes, collars, litter bags, beds, brushes, puppy shampoo and conditioner, freshener spray, and so much more! I put all of my own money into everything I buy and I don’t expect to charge extra or ask for anything from going the extra mile to make sure your animal is treated with the up most care, love, & attention! This is more than a job to me.This is something I absolutely LOVE doing! It feels good and is extremely rewarding! Meeting any and all of your pets, getting to know all there different personalities as well as there likes, things they enjoy doing! I want to always fulfill every expectation as well as going above your expectations to keep you coming back to me and feeling more than comfortable that your animal is in the safest and most loving care there is! I really enjoy building a relationship with your pet as well as building a relationship with the owner! Trust is KEY in this area of work and I always want to do everything I can to make it easy on you, comfortable and affordable! If you have any questions what so ever please feel free to shoot me a message! As I said before I am extremely flexible as all my time goes into volunteering, pet sitting, I am a certified makeup artist, I went to school in California and have worked for New York Fashion week for the past 3 years! My goal is to eventually have my own salon for grooming, self washing, and sitting as well as always on call or in the office veterinarians (myself included)

Makeup is a huge part of my life as I love doing art of all kinds but I’ve always had such a huge sit in my heart for animals and that’s something that can never be replaced or taken away from me!

What Chantal would like to know about your dog

I like to know of course the background, are they trained? Age? Gender, breed, what I can and cannot give them or do with them, I always make a printed out check list of things that are okay with the owner to go over during our meet ups before hand but of course some owners have things come up on short notice and I don’t expect to always be able do a meet up to see if it’s a match, some animals are always going to be hard to work with especially if they aren’t used to you but showing them and caring for them by being gentle and caring makes them feel very comfortable, I am always reading new ways to make a new animal I work with wether they’ve been adopted and were abused or there a puppy I have books for all breeds and many many articles printed out and arranged in different folders for any breed I am watching, I also have found and done a lot of research about essential plug in oils for my walls that I plug in that helps them feel more comfortable an more at home it is completely safe, cruelty free, vegan and works as well as helps in times where I am sitting at my own house! I do like finding recipes online for vegan and cruelty free treats but I always want to make sure it’s okay with every owner if they are able to have them after a walk, do they mind if I try teaching and working on tricks with them? Is it okay for me to take them to special events for animals? Do they mind if I take them to my aunts self serve doggy washing/grooming salon called “Bark” or even giving them baths at my house (I feel like it’s important to keep your animal looking and feeling it’s best, I don’t mind the hair and shedding and I know some owners don’t always have all the time to do the full treatments of giving there fur baby a nice spa day, so I enjoy doing that and getting them used to the water as everything I do is the correct temperature I make sure to always always always check before hand as well as the products I use! I also like to ask or read on the profile if at all they allergic or need any type of medicine? I love being able to spoil by giving ALL of my time to every animal that comes into my life, I know with pet sitting some people like to just sit around and assume the dogs can just fend for themselves but if I’m being paid I want them to have my full attention even if it is for more than just one or two to even a week of me pet sitting or walking them house sitting etc! I know so many pet owners can get wrapped up in a busy life so I like to provide that top notch service of lots of cuddles and love, giving them a nice bath with animal friendly products to make them feel better and look there best for when they go home to you! My services include all of that and there are no hidden fees! I’ve been working at my aunts pet grooming salon since I was 14 on and off, I don’t do nail clipping or any hair cutting but I never mind giving them a puppy or kitty glow up with a deep wash and condition as well as teeth brushing adding a bandana or bow. To this day I am always learning and trying to learn as much about animals from puppies to giant dogs on the best way to care for them!

When Chantal watches your pet

I enjoy taking dogs to quite a few dog parks and keeping MORE than a very close eye on every animalthats in my care! I also love going hiking on animal safe trails! I always will check with owners before I book to make sure they are comfortable with me watching or walking other dogs and if they are and if I have more than one animal I am sitting I divide my attention equally to both pets, no animal is ever singled out or alone I am going to be giving my FULL attention to all dogs I am caring for as if they were my own I’ve nevr been one to play favorites. I have a plethora of dog toys and fun activities, I bake homemade vegan dog treats and am always on Pinterest looking for new and fun things to do with your animals that are fun and healthy!
